Shanann Watts' Family Is Moving Her Personal Items Out of the Home Where She Was Killed

The family of Shanann Watts has moved her personal effects out of the Colorado home that she once shared with her husband, Chris, PEOPLE has confirmed.

According to an onlooker at the scene, a large moving truck pulled up to the house on Wednesday afternoon. Shanann’s father, Frank Rzucek, loaded a bed frame, a mirror, and several other pieces of furniture into the truck with the assistance of an unidentified woman who appeared to be in her 30s.

In an arrest affidavit obtained by PEOPLE, investigators revealed they discovered Chris’ affair with an unnamed co-worker, which he initially denied. The document also alleges that he confessed to killing Shanann.

Shanann’s family has been outspoken in their criticism of Chris. Her brother, Frankie Rzucek, has previously lashed out at Chris, calling him a “heartless psychopath” and saying that he “stole my whole world.”

Chris has not yet entered a plea and is due to return to court in November. His lawyer did not respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment but, according to a statement from the state’s public defender’s office, their attorneys are barred from discussing ongoing criminal cases.
